Just a guess, but it sounds like it could be buffering. "org.apache.juli.FileHandler supports buffering of the logs. The buffering is not enabled by default. To configure it, use the bufferSize property of a handler. The value of 0 uses system default buffering (typically an 8K buffer will be used). A value of <0 forces a writer flush upon each log write. A value >0 uses a BufferedOutputStream with the defined value but note that the system default buffering will also be applied." https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/logging.html It's hard to tell exactly though, without seeing your logging configuration. Please try including your logging.properties (assuming you are using the Java logging), so that we can all see it. Dan
